This Saturn Retrograde celebrates the relationship between discipline and problems. Problems give discipline something to shape itself around. Discipline is how we court the problem long enough to learn from it. A problem isn’t a failure of discipline; it’s the forge in which discipline is made. Don’t wish your problems away. The problem is the way.

 ARIES (March 21-April 19). The plan isn’t the problem; it’s how tightly you’re gripping it. Relax your hold, and something better might slip in. Flexibility isn’t failure; it’s intelligence. You’ll pivot at just the right moment and impress even yourself.

 TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re doing so much better than you think. Even when you’re hurting, you know there’s nothing wrong with you for feeling that way. You are a soul in the middle of a day and you’re being so brave just by not turning away.

 GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A little patience goes a long way. It’s easier to extend grace to others when you remember your own quirks and blind spots. Today, your compassion will earn you goodwill — and possibly the same kindness in return.

 CANCER (June 22-July 22). A chance encounter has more to it. Don’t brush it off. There’s potential in the moment — maybe for friendship, maybe for something different and even more beneficial to you. No assumptions. Stay open and let curiosity lead.

 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Refinement doesn’t always look glamorous. It can be repetitive and make your muscles sore, your eyes blurry, your energy feeling misplaced on something that’s not so much hard as it is tedious. But refinement is also what will set your work, and you, apart.

 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you identify as a pleaser, but even then you know you don’t have to act on every request. You’ll be more “pleasing” by picking only the request that resonated with you as something you might enjoy or learn from or both.

 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The fun is back, but it’s got layers now. You’re not just entertaining people; you’re building momentum, connection and possibly your next opportunity. Play and purpose are aligned.

 SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve been in observe-and-absorb mode, but now it’s time to speak. You’ve got a take no one else does, and it’s needed. Say it your way — not louder, just clearer. Your voice adds texture to the moment and moves things forward.

 SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A job half-finished drains more energy than one fully complete. Today’s joy comes from follow-through. Button it up. Sweep the corners. You’ll sleep better knowing you brought it all the way home.

 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people confuse need with want, and their excess spills into everything. Stay grounded. Your clarity around simplicity and moderation will help you avoid drama — and may even inspire others to choose elegance, or at least a less chaotic path.

 AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People trust you with their subtext, which you read as though it’s as obvious as the story on the surface. You’ll handle people’s quirks and wants with humor and grace. People will trust you enough to eventually let you know their inner world.

 PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been too close to this puzzle. Step back — way back. The big picture only becomes visible when you detach from the outcome. It’s a mental shift, a little sacrifice of desire that buys you perspective.

 TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 12). This year brings the joy that isn’t just a treat; it’s a flare from your creative core, proof that your spark is catching and you’re using your power in a way that matters. You’ll know the resonance of connecting deeply with people who truly get you. More highlights: a renovation, domestic glow-up and personal strength-building mission. The cause you adopt thrives. A risk pays off with surprising momentum in both love and livelihood. Pisces and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 17, 25, 33 and 47.

NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Taylor beat Amanda Serrano for the third time, winning a majority decision on Friday night to remain the undisputed 140-pound champion.

Taylor won by scores of 97-93 on two judges’ cards, while the third had it even at 95-95. It was the third straight narrow decision between the two, after Taylor won a split decision in their first bout and a narrow unanimous decision in the rematch.

Back in Madison Square Garden, site of their first bout, Taylor improved to 25-1 in a fight that perhaps wasn’t as exciting as their first two, but once again was almost too close to call.

Serrano (47-4-1) never really hurt Taylor this time, the expected final fight between the two, the way she did a couple times in the previous fights and held her hands over her eyes when the first score announced was the even card, perhaps knowing already then, she hadn’t done enough to pull it out.

The Associated Press scored it 95-95.

It was the same festive atmosphere in front of another sold-out crowd split between Irish and Puerto Rican fans, just the way it was when they first fought here on April 30, 2022, in what was the first women’s boxing match to headline the arena.

This time, the arena hosted its first all-women’s card, many of the fighters saying during the leadup they owed their opportunity to the interest created by the Taylor-Serrano trilogy.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.

During an interview on Peacock’s coverage of the American Century Championship on Friday, Charles Barkley said about the annual celebrity golf event: “This is my 30th year. I look forward to coming here every year.”

And is he ever looking forward to Round 2 on Saturday.

From 2014 through 2018, Barkley had the worst score among the golfers who complete all three rounds annually except in 2015, when he finished next-to-last.

But the perennial also-ran with a swing that spawned jokes completed the first round of the 2025 tournament on Friday tied for 24th among the 90 competitors.

“I had a great day today,” Barkley said. “I had a lot of fun. I played with Nate Bargatze and Larry the Cable Guy, two of the best dudes. But I’ve put a lot of time and effort in, and I was very happy with the way I played today.”

Barkley shot a 9-over-par 81 at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada. But that wasn’t his score. The American Century Championship uses the Modified Stableford scoring system. A double eagle is worth 10 points, a hole-in-one eight, an eagle six, a birdie three and a par one. A double-bogey or worse is minus-2 points.

Barkley finished with nine points on Friday.

Barkley holed out from 88 yards on the par-4 second hole for a six-point eagle. He birdied the par-3 seventh and parred eight holes. Four double-bogeys took eight points off his score.

“I thought I would play well,” Barkley told former Vestavia Hills High School star Smylie Kaufman in an interview during Peacock’s coverage. “I didn’t think I would play this well. What I’m really trying to work on is tempo. Every time I try to hit the ball hard, bad stuff happens, so I told myself the last couple of weeks, ‘Man, you’re a big, old, fat dude. Just make a pass at it. It’s going to go.’ That’s what I tell myself, Smylie: ‘You’re a big, old, fat dude. If you just make a nice pass at it, with that big ass you got, the ball’s going to go off the club.’ So I’m really just concentrating, honestly, on tempo.”

Barkley had his best showing at the tournament last year, when he came in 58th at minus-4. He had never had a score better than minus-26 previously.

Former NHL player Joe Pavelski holds the lead after the first round with 23 points, one point ahead of 2022 winner Vinny Del Negro, a former NBA player and coach. Golden State Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry, the 2023 winner, is tied for third with 21 points.

A former Leeds High School and Auburn basketball standout, Barkley is a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after a 16-year NBA career that included 11 All-Star selections.

An Auburn alumnus has won the American Century Championship. Football kicker Al Del Greco took the title in 2000.

It didn’t take Helena long to find its new baseball coach.

Just days after P.J. Guy announced his move to Oak Mountain, the Huskies announced they have hired former Major League player Mitch Moreland as their next head coach.

Moreland lives in Helena with his wife Susan and the couple’s three children.

A native of Mississippi, Moreland played college baseball at Mississippi State. As a junior, he hit .343 with 10 home runs and also went 2-0 as a pitcher.

The Texas Rangers selected him in the 17th round of the 2007 MLB Draft.

He made his MLB debut for the Rangers on July 29, 2010.

His 12-year career also included stops with the Red Sox – where he won a World Series in 2018, the Padres and the Athletics. Moreland was a career .251 hitter with 186 home runs and 618 RBIs.

He won a Gold Glove in 2016 and made the All-Star team in 2018.

Moreland takes over a Helena program that won the 6A championship in 2017 and finished as runner-up in both 2015 and 2018.

Helena will have a player meeting at 9:30 a.m. July 18.

Eddie Santana Sr. is the latest member of a family of four to be recovered after deadly flooding in Texas last week caused them to disappear, according to an Alabama news station.

According to Fox10 News, a family member confirmed that Eddie’s body was found on Friday.

Eddie, a 69-year-old from Mobile, was staying at a riverside cabin in Kerrville when he was swept away along with his wife, Ileana Santana, 6-year-old granddaughter, Mila Rose Santana, and Mila’s parents, Camille Santana and Eddie Santana Jr.

Eddie Jr. was found alive and discharged from a hospital on July 6.

Camille’s body was found on July 8 by rescuers and she died due to injuries sustained during the flood, according to her brother-in-law Michael Santana.

The search continues to find Ileana and Mila who remain missing a week after the floods began.

The devastating floods caused over 120 people to die.

Sarah Marsh, an eight-year-old girl from Mountain Brook, was among the victims.

The National Weather Service issued a weather alert at 7:22 p.m. on Friday for strong thunderstorms until 8:15 p.m. for Madison and Morgan counties.

Wind gusts of up to 30 mph and pea-sized hail (0.25 inches) are anticipated.

“At 7:22 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Triana, or 10 miles northeast of Hartselle, moving southeast at 10 mph,” states the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor hail damage to vegetation is possible.”

Locations impacted by the alert include Redstone Arsenal, Priceville, Triana, Somerville, Laceys Spring, Valhermoso Springs, Florette and Whitesburg.

The weather service adds, “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.”

When lightning looms: Expert safety tips for thunderstorms

Each year, lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times, with the majority of these electrifying events occurring during the summer months. Unfortunately, lightning is responsible for claiming the lives of approximately 20 people annually, as reported by the weather service. The threat of lightning becomes more pronounced as thunderstorms draw nearer, peaking when the storm is directly overhead and gradually waning as it moves away.

To guarantee your safety in the midst of a thunderstorm, take into account the following recommendations:

Lightning safety plan:

• When venturing outdoors, it’s crucial to have a lightning safety plan in place.
• Monitor the sky for threatening signs and listen for the sound of thunder. If thunder is audible, it’s an indication that lightning is nearby.
• Seek a safe place to shelter, preferably indoors.

Indoors safety measures:

• Once you’re indoors, avoid using corded phones, electrical devices, plumbing fixtures, and stay away from windows and doors.
• Lightning can follow conductive pathways, and these precautions reduce the risk of electrical surges.

Wait for the all-clear:

• After the last lightning strike or thunderclap, wait at least 30 minutes before resuming outdoor activities.
• It’s important to remember that lightning can strike even when a storm seems to have passed, so exercise caution.

When indoor shelter isn’t available:

If you find yourself outdoors with no access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:

• Avoid open fields, hilltops, or ridge crests, as they expose you to greater lightning risk.
• Steer clear of tall, isolated trees and other prominent objects. In forested areas, stay close to lower stands of trees.
• If you’re in a group, ensure that individuals are spaced out to prevent lightning current from transferring between people.
• Camping in an open setting during a thunderstorm is strongly discouraged. If you have no alternative, set up camp in a valley, ravine, or other low-lying areas. It’s crucial to note that a tent provides no protection against lightning.
• Do not approach water bodies, wet objects, or metal items. While water and metal don’t attract lightning, they conduct electricity effectively and can pose significant risks.

In summary, when facing the threat of lightning, preparedness and vigilance are your best allies. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of lightning-related incidents and prioritize your safety.

Rainy roadways ahead: Essential safety tips for heavy rain

When heavy rain sets in, the risk of flooding and hazardous driving conditions rises. Whether it’s prolonged rainfall or rapid runoff, being prepared is essential. Here are some valuable safety tips from the weather service to ensure you stay safe in heavy rain:

Beware of rapid water flow:

In heavy rain, refrain from parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a grave danger.

Maintain safe driving distances:

Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.

Slow down and stay cautious:

If it is raining and the roads are wet, slow down. Take your foot off the accelerator and let your speed drop gradually. Never use the brakes suddenly because this may cause the car to skid.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Prioritize visibility

Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.

Watch out for slippery roads:

Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.

Mind your windshield wipers:

Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.

If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.

By following these safety measures, you can significantly reduce risks and ensure your well-being when heavy rain pours down. Stay informed about weather conditions and heed advice from local authorities to make your journey safe and sound.

On Friday at 7:11 p.m. a severe thunderstorm warning was issued by the National Weather Service in effect until 7:45 p.m. for Geneva County.

The storms are packing penny-sized hail (0.75 inches) and wind gusts of up to 60 mph.

“At 7:11 p.m., severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from near Florala to 10 miles southeast of Laurel Hill, moving east at 5 mph,” says the weather service. “Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees.”

Locations impacted by the warning include De Funiak Springs, Liberty, Paxton, Hacoda, Gordon, Pond Creek, Oakwood Hills, Cluster Springs, Fox Hill, Gaskin, Sand Hill, Alpine Heights, Lytle, Darlington, Marl, Glendale, Lakewood, Ganer, Flowersville and New Harmony.

The weather service adds, “Large hail, damaging wind, and continuous cloud to ground lightning are occurring with these storms. Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature’s leading killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning. Torrential rainfall is occurring with these storms, and may lead to flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.”

Mastering wet roads: Safety tips for heavy rainfall

When heavy rain sets in, the risk of flooding and hazardous driving conditions rises. Whether it’s prolonged rainfall or rapid runoff, being prepared is essential. Here are some valuable safety tips from the weather service to ensure you stay safe in heavy rain:

Beware of rapid water flow:

Avoid parking or walking in close proximity to culverts or drainage ditches, as the swiftly moving water during heavy rain can potentially carry you away.

Maintain safe driving distances:

Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.

Reduce speed and drive cautiously:

On wet roads, reducing your speed is crucial. Ease off the gas pedal gradually and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stay toward the middle lanes – water tends to pool in the outside lanes.

Visibility matters:

Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.

Watch out for slippery roads:

The first half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mix of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.

Mind your windshield wipers:

Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility. If rain severely limits your sight, pull over and wait for conditions to improve. Seek refuge at rest areas or protected spots.

When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.

In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.

Mastering wet roads: Safety tips for heavy rainfall

When heavy rain pours, the risk of flooding and treacherous roads rises. Here’s your guide from the weather service to staying safe during downpours:

Beware of rapid water flow:

In heavy rain, refrain from parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a grave danger.

Maintain safe driving distances:

The two-second rule for following distance is your ally in heavy rain. Extend it to four seconds to ensure safe spacing in adverse conditions.

Slow down and stay cautious:

On wet roads, slowing down is paramount. Gradually ease off the accelerator and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.

Choose your lane wisely:

Stick to the middle lanes on multi-lane roads to minimize the risk of hydroplaning, as water tends to accumulate in outer lanes.

Prioritize visibility

Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by activating your headlights. Be particularly vigilant for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.

Watch out for slippery roads:

The first half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mix of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.

Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:

Don’t follow large trucks or buses too closely. The spray created by their large tires reduces your vision. Take care when passing them as well; if you must pass, do so quickly and safely.

Mind your windshield wipers:

Heavy rain can overload the wiper blades. When visibility is so limited that the edges of the road or other vehicles cannot be seen at a safe distance, it is time to pull over and wait for the rain to ease up. It is best to stop at rest areas or other protected areas.

If the roadside is your only option, pull off as far as possible, preferably past the end of a guard rail, and wait until the storm passes. Keep your headlights on and turn on emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.

In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.
